Red Dragon Archfiend deserves a Starlight Road :(

I couldn't really pick a good name and pic. But rate on effect?

[Lolz Dialgaz]

overpowered...

and you need to work on your spelling ;)

6/10 just.... overpowered.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Get some fire stocks (deviantart is your friend), then use a white/black Circular Gradient to create the fire with the stock. Go in with a soft brush with the right colors and add/subtract as you need. As Masking > Erasing. Some slight color tweaks can fix the image too. So you're not out yet.

 

As for this effect, Stall Decks love it. Definitely not the most creative, but useful yes. Great on you.

[Metal Skull]

Great effect and usefull, maybe a bit OP'ed though.

This could have a better pic but isn't so bad.

Turns a 2 card combo into something thats a one turn Raigeki that puts your monsters in bad positions preventing you from attacking? Yeah. Not overpowered.

[ragnarok1945]

the skipping your battle phase isn't enough of a drawback

 

at least not in the case of killing so many of your opponent's monsters (provided you timed it right)

 

8/10

Do you read at all? It doesn't need a drawback.

It may not be in your opinion, but it is in mine.

Do you got any problems with that?

And Red Dragon Archfiend is a powerful card, and it can be summoned easily with this effect. Makes it a bit OP'ed

[Guest JoshIcy]

If you use that defense, your Opinion isn't anything. Because it's stated as purely your opinion, rather than an educated opinion of yours.

 

Also, there's a reason why Stardust is summoned more than RDA. Because it's simply better. Also, RDA if it's summoned during Main Phase 2, this card is fine but loses most of its advantage. If it's summoned during your MP1, this card becomes a Dark Hole for you as well (save for RDA who did attack).

 

Do I need to post Red Dragon Archfiend to help you understand?

No one here said that SD is wrost than RDA.

 

And no, you don't need to post RDA, I understand its effects VERY well, and even if I needed I would just go to wikia and search for it.

 

For what you explain there, It still doesn't changes my opinion.

 

Since you couldn't conduct your Battle Phase if you actived this card during your Main Phase 1, all OTHER monsters you control basides RDA were destroyed, but you can simply just active this card while you control no monsters or active it during the Main Phase 2, that way you lose no monsters. Even if you lose 1 or 2 monsters, you have RDA on the field, which makes the cost worth for it.

 

So it's mostly a cheap summoning of RDA and less 2 def. position monsters to your opponent.

 

And what I said = OP'ed.

 

I might be stupid with my opinion, but it's MY opinion.

 

I don't feel like keep flooding this thread with this discussion, though.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Lol. Discussion... I'm trying to promote that anyway.

And if you defend everything as your opinion (it is true but dont defend it as such), we can't say anything to it. Effectively making your post(s) spam. Should I do that instead? Or coax a discussion for understanding?

 

Also, given the rulings you couldn't conduct your Battle Phase at all thus having no Main Phase 2. Resulting this in a defensive card in the long run of it. Not overpowered.

[-Griffin]

This card is, effectively, destroy 2 Defense position monsters and all your monsters to Summon RDA and skip your battle phase - I personally find it amazingly balanced and interesting. Probably one of the single best cards I've seen in RC for a while actually, due to its possible use in a casual Deck while still making RDA a bit more fun if it could ever fit into competitive Decks (if only Defense position was taken seriously =p)

[Metal Skull]

Lol. If my posts are spam yours are aswell. You started this "discussion", conducting the (as you called it) spam.

 

Anyway, not OP'ed or OP'ed... why so many "discussion" just because of that? Do you have something againist me or you are just way too serious? This is just a card game forum!

[Guest JoshIcy]

Umm... I said that you defending it as "just my opinion" could be seen as spam, because we can't say anything to it. Serious or not.

 

And why? I want to promote discussion over matters such as that. Instead of a single post and leave. Making the comments of RC more educated over how a card works, rather than looks *points to all the OCG maniacs and people who havent played the game since Spell Ruler came out*. As well as making opinions more valuable.

 

[spoiler=Inside this is merely Personal Peeve]And god... I'd love Rag to post on part of a discussion such as this.

I understand what you mean but what we are doing is AKA flooding IMO.

[Guest JoshIcy]

No... Everyones glorified user floods. When he repeatedly posts 3-4times a minute 5 times a day. THAT'S FLOODING.

 

Discussion about a cards balance on a thread, is not.

 

And if you won't at least, show some heart as to why instead of coldly just saying it's OP'd because it's your opinion. You don't belong posting. Kinda like saying "I don't care I do what I like". Explain why you see it's OP'd.

[ridiculosity]

That's not OP, see Mother Spider. I do think there should be some penalty or limit or something.

[έκλειψη]

Meh. I think it is OP'ed.

 

I see how the trap ties into RDA, but if your opponent is setting up the defenses with two Defense Position monsters, a trap that both destroys them and gets out a 3000 ATK monster is OP. I know it can't attack that turn, but...

I guess setting this on your first or second turn would make it OP. Later in a duel, it seems more balanced, as your opponent would probably have counters to traps set up by then. This makes for a nice OTK, but if it were real, I could see it making it onto the Limited list. Nice card overall, however.

 

8.9/10

[Sander]

This card is faaaaar from overpowered. Really' date=' do you even PLAY the game? There are faaaaar more overpowered cards in the real game, and this card isn't close to them.[/quote']

Bish please, play the game before you make assumptions like this. This is just good support for a Synchro that is just splashed in Extra Decks if you ever run against the stall players.

 

And making on the list...this card? Thanks for making me laugh. This card isn't hurting the game or doesn't have any broken aspects to it, so it won't ever...ever make it to the list.

 

The only way this could be...usable, is in a Red Archfiend Dragon/Assault Mode deck, and even then, it's really not worth it.

 

If you didn't get it, THIS CARD ISN'T OVERPOWERED. End of discussion.

[έκλειψη]

Actually, I don't play the game. I haven't in... Since it was fairly new. Several years.

[Metal Skull]

You remember this? I'm trying to explain it here.

 

You want more explains? Or do you want me to say: "You are right, this is not OP'ed"?

 

If you want I can make a book explaining this card's overpowerdness and then publish it, so that you can read and understand. Don't be afraid I'll make a 50% sale just for you. Yeah, because otherwise I would need 10 pages of this thread just to explain this card's overpowerdness.

[-Griffin]

RDA is mediocre - losing 2 monsters is rarely worth it.

Defense position is rarely used.

You cannot attack at all on the turn you used it, so you cannot attack then use this in the MP2.

It's a very situational way of killing both fields and having a 3000 ATK monster with a negative side-effect for future turns who is unable to be revived.

 

Really, it's not overpowered. No Deck could be build in which this was a threat to the meta as a whole.

[Sander]

I really doubt you people actually keep up with the game at the moment. Let's see, what's in the meta at the current time...Lightsworns, Zombies and Blackwings.

 

Those three decks have cards that are overpowered. LS have JD, Zombies and Blackwings (BW have their speed, let's not forget that) have the easily abusable Synchros, as well Zombies have Elemental Hero Absolute Zero, since most of the Zombie Decks run a D-hero engine and 2 Deep Sea Diva's.

 

If you think that this card is overpowered, you clearly haven't faced any decks like the three that I brought up in example.

[Guest JoshIcy]

Edited out the stuff... Except the one vent. That wasn't an attack. Sorry OP >_>"... Ive got an issue with things that hinder ideas.

[Phantom Roxas]

Personally, I think the card is underpowered. Your opponent's card have to be in Defense Position, so you'd need another card like Jute Fighter. Yeah, I can see this working in an /Assault Mode deck though.
